See full version: EXPEDITION YACHTS FOR SALE
The expedition yacht is fully insulated to operate in both tropical and extreme latitudes, where it can remain for months. Larger yachts will have a captain and crew, but with today’s technology and systems, owner-operated yachts are found up to 85 feet or so. All expedition yachts are stabilized for comfort at sea. here
These boats can cruise exotic places with little or no outside support, so are equipped with dive compressors and all the water toys and other equipment to explore reefs, uninhabited islands, as well as enjoy the most luxurious European marinas in the Mediterranean. Wreck diving in Truk Lagoon, watching glaciers in Alaska and Greenland, and following in Shackleton’s footsteps are all within the mission statement of the expedition yacht.
As a result, most expedition yachts use commercial grade, hydraulic systems for windlass, bow and stern thrusters, stabilizers, and tender cranes for the ultimate performance. All gear is oversized and capable of operating in extreme conditions. more
The engineering that goes into expedition yachts eliminates single points of failure in all systems, and redundancy is factored into all critical areas. Self-sufficiency is also a key element of the design spiral of an expedition yacht. Unlike most other categories of cruising yachts, the living space elements of the best yachts in this category, such as galley and staterooms, are secondary to the engine room where supreme reliability and accessibility of the machinery and systems is first and foremost. more
These are not production boats, and no two yachts are the same. Each is a custom or semi-custom yacht tailored to the desires and cruising plans of its owners.
Browse houseboats for sale in Rainier, WA. Many people dream of living on the water, and that's exactly what houseboats offer. A houseboat is a home that floats on water. They come in two forms: cruising (with an engine or sails) and non-cruising (permanently moored or anchored). The most common form of a houseboat is the non-cruising one, which comes with living quarters, kitchen, bathroom, and often storage space for supplies. There are many different types of houseboats, from simple, small homes on top of rafts to multi-million dollar custom floating homes. In many parts of the world, houseboats have been around for centuries - in other areas, they're newer to the scene but quickly gaining popularity as an alternative lifestyle choice. more
For many people, the idea of living on a houseboat is romantic and appealing. The concept can seem like an idyllic way to escape from everyday life. But before you pack up your things and head out onto the water, let's look at the advantages of living on a houseboat.
There are many reasons why people love houseboats, including the lack of mortgage payments (if you buy outright) and property taxes, the cool and fun lifestyle, awesome views, relaxing and simplified life, and surrounding wildlife - plus they can be very environmentally friendly. Their use of solar power can help reduce your carbon footprint and most houseboat communities rely on rainwater catchment systems for water. Houseboats are seen as homes for those who want to escape from land, live in a relatively cheaper home, but still have all the comforts of living in the city.
If you’re in the market for a truly special waterside experience, this houseboat is the perfect fit.
Best of all, to make things more exciting, you actually can take Why Knot for a ride on the lake if you meet the qualifications (100-ton license, insurance, etc.) [links]
With that said, chances are you’ll be spending most of your time outdoors, and Turnip has you covered on that front with a beautiful deck and outdoor eating area.
